EVgo has also partnered with Audible, an Amazon subsidiary, offering a joint promotion for a 2-month free trial of Audible Premium Plus for EVgo and PlugShare users, enhancing the charging experience with entertainment options after reaching a charging station.

Ivo Steklac, Chief Technology Officer at EVgo stated: “As Amazon’s first charging network for Alexa, we’re thrilled to provide simplified charging experiences for customers with Alexa.”
